Like the pinnacle of the Teton mountain range, this guitar is the pinnacle of the Teton Guitar brand. We took all the things people loved about our STS105NT and upped our game. This guitar has an all solid body. Solid Western Red Cedar for the top and African Mahogany for the back and sides. The companionship of cedar and mahogany is a dream come true to singer/songwriters. The blending of tones produced by both wood types accentuates the human voice.
Features:
Nut/Saddle: Bone.
Soundhole Rosette: Abalone.
TOP WOOD
Western Red Cedar is a softer wood that has great warmth. Because of the warmth of cedar, it pairs very well w/ the human voice and is great for singer/songwriters. Cedar naturally amplifies quieter playing styles and is a favorite of finger pickers.
BODY SHAPE
The dreadnought body shape has been the most popular shape for decades now for a number of reasons. First, it has a nice balance between low, mid and high frequencies. Where somebody shapes scoop the mid-range, a dreadnought will bring the midrange up. This is important when playing w/ a group of instruments. The midrange of a guitar will stand out. Because of the tonal balance of a dreadnought, the sound does not get muddy and will be very articulate even when a player is a more aggressive picker.
